Discuss ways that managers can use both policy and the existing laws in your home country to discourage employees seeking their own interests over that of the employer.

In a variety of ways, managers can discourage their employees from putting themselves before the interests of their employer by using both existing law and policy. To ensure employees do not abuse company resources, or engage in behaviors that are contrary to organizational goals, policies such as conflict of interest clauses and non-disclosure agreement can be implemented. Additionally, managers should stay informed about applicable labor laws so they know when to take action if an employee’s actions are deemed inappropriate or illegal.

The use of disciplinary measures such as suspensions or terminations in the case of more serious crimes can serve to discourage those that try and gain personal advantage at the expense the company. Implementing performance reviews and incentive programs based on standards like job completion time or customer satisfaction scores is another way managers can encourage employees to prioritize their employer’s interests over their own. Benefits such as retirement or health plans will increase employee loyalty because employees are invested more in the success and growth of their organization.
